September 1st and Summer is now officially over. How do I know? Do I have some special Almanac that tells me? Is it all based on folk lore? Is it because the schools went back today? Nope, its none of those. I know Summer is over because when I went to our local Sainsbury’s supermarket, […]
Last weekend Nick and I headed up to the boat to do some work on it. The deck boards on the boat are made out of plywood and they get wet and once water gets in on the cut edge they start to break down, and the starboard deck which is the one that we […]
Kathy and I spent the weekend on the boat on the moorings. We couldn’t go any where because the canal is closed due to a breach on one of the embankments and so they’ve closed all the locks to stop boats moving and hopefully to keep the water levels up until they can get some […]
I quite like my G1, and now I’ve got TasKiller it’s battery life is almost reasonable. One of the big features of the G1 is that when you set it up you have to tie it to a Google Account. This gives you access to email and also synchronises your contacts and your calendar on […]

You’re probably thinking that Steve’s gone bonkers but please bear with me on this one. Sci-Fi are running the new series of Knight Rider. Now we all remember the original which starred The Hoff which aired back in the early 1980s and was, along with Air Wolf one of those rather silly programs which sort […]
For a while now we’ve been hearing odd thumping noises at night from outside and one morning they either woke Kathy up or stopped her going back to sleep. At first we thought it was our neighbours daughter ( who lives in their shed ) doing teenage girl things. But the other day I was […]
